Used Pallet Racking
Used Pallet Rack Raleigh, NC
Used beams, uprights and wire decking for Raleigh warehouses, at a fraction of the cost of new. We deliver and install.
Getting Rack to Raleigh
Raleigh is about 170 miles from our lot, up I-85 and east on I-40. We buy and sell used pallet racking across the country and install it too, so Kyle can get the sizes you are after out to the Triangle in no time.
Buy Used Pallet Rack in Raleigh, NC
Used rack runs a third to half off new, depending on condition. We buy it out of warehouses that are closing, moving or reconfiguring, bring it back to our lot in Charlotte, and check it before it goes back out.
Tell us the sizes and quantities you need and we will check them against what is standing in the yard. If used cannot cover the whole job, we stock new rack for the rest.

Where We Work
Where the Warehouses Are in Raleigh, NC
Raleigh's own city limits hold less big-box warehouse than people expect. Most of it sits in a ring of Wake County towns.
Garner and the White Oak area
Off I-40 south of town. Amazon's fulfillment center here runs about 2.6 million square feet and employs more than 3,000 people full time.
East Wake
Knightdale, Wendell and Zebulon, along I-87 and US 64. This is the Triangle's main large-format logistics growth corridor right now.
The I-540 ring
Newer flex and distribution space following the outer loop around the north side.
Permitting
Permits in Wake County
Raleigh keeps both halves in-house. Building permits come from the City of Raleigh Planning and Development Department, and fire review comes from the Raleigh Fire Department's Office of the Fire Marshal.
The order of operations is the part worth knowing. Raleigh runs a Site Permit Review that has to be approved by every applicable department and reach final review before you can even submit a non-residential building permit plan. Fire is one of the named reviewers in that process.
Outside the city line, Wake County Permits and Inspections handles building permits for unincorporated Wake, and by contract for Knightdale, Rolesville, Wendell and Zebulon. That covers a lot of where the new warehouse space actually is.
Under the International Fire Code you need a permit once a building holds more than 500 square feet of high-piled combustible storage, and high-piled means the top of the load sits above 12 feet. That covers most pallet rack projects. The code itself is the same in every jurisdiction, but the forms you file and the reviewer who reads them change from one county to the next.
- Storage with the top of the load above 12 feet, whether rack, shelving or floor-stacked piles
- More than 500 square feet of high-piled storage area
- Combustible commodities, counting the carton and the wood pallet, not just the product
- A new tenant or a change of use in an existing building
Start the permit conversation at the same time as the rack order. The two waits overlap instead of stacking. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works
Common Questions
Do I need a permit before installing pallet rack in Raleigh?
Almost certainly. Fire review goes through the Raleigh Fire Department's Office of the Fire Marshal, and the city's Site Permit Review has to clear before a non-residential building permit plan can be submitted. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in.
How much can I save buying used pallet rack?
Used rack typically runs a third to half off new, depending on condition and what is available when you order. The exact number moves with what we have pulled out of warehouses recently.
Can I mix used and new rack in the same system?
Yes, as long as the sizes, load capacities and connection style are compatible. It is common on larger jobs, since the yard rarely holds every size in the quantity a full warehouse needs.
Do you install, or just deliver?
We do both. Stein is a licensed general contractor and our own crews handle installation, so the same company that sells you the rack sets it in your building.
Is used pallet rack safe?
We inspect what comes into the yard and give a condition rating on what we sell. Rack that is bent, cracked at the welds, or missing its capacity data does not go back out.
